Here's the Athletic's Andrew Baggerly and multi-year veteran covering the team on what he heard directly from the Giants:
2) Patrick Bailey's walk-off pick at first base was special
Cancel that .. PATRICK BAILEY is special. Replay showed it wasn't close. (Video in link below includes Giant's Kruk/Kuip call)
